I would agree, another player who has down hill rapidly since leaving Leeds!

Thorman plays like a 7 for me and likes to organise and kick whereas Horne likes to do little organising and only kicks now and then.

I've been to the three games so far and I think that Horne is doing quite a lot of the organising. This contrasts from the Leeds friendly when Thorman ran the show in terms of organisation. Also, Horne is still actually kicking quite a bit. Not as much as Thorman, but more than I thought he would

I've only been to the Crusaders game, but that was certainly the case there.

Don't think he's changed that much TBH. He was vastly overrated at Leeds, now people just see him for what he is.

I always thought he was an exciting player with ball in hand at Leeds and pretty good defensively, a player I rated a good few years back.

Although I wouldn't go as far as saying exciting, I do agree that he was a good player at Leeds. I say it all the time, that players who sign for Wigan generally have a hard time of reaching the standard they did at their previous club(s) and that when they leave, they should be given some time. However, the problem with Mathers is the fact he is a cowardly little sh*t who gives away too many penalties nowadays. He would be nearly as bad a signing as Cockayne

I never did. He had pace and reasonably good hands, but his defence was never better than average. He was also a dirty player and fond of the cheap shot.

The players around him made him look better than he was and I was quite surprised when he went to the NRL.

i always thought mathers was stevos' lovechild, the way he used to rave on about him week in week out when he played for leeds
